Mobile washing and detailing systems

Abstract

A system includes a frame, a spot-free water generator, a booster pump, a tank, a first pressure washer, and a first on-demand pump. The frame is configured to be received within and coupled to a portion of an interior of a vehicle. The spot-free water generator includes a carbon filter, a pre-filter, and a plurality of membranes and is configured to generate spot-free rinse water from tap water. The booster pump receives tap water from an exterior water inlet port and delivers the tap water to the spot-free water generator at a predetermined pressure. The tank is coupled to the frame and receives and stores at least a portion of the spot-free rinse water generated by the spot-free water generator. The first on-demand pump is coupled to the frame and is configured to deliver spot-free rinse water from the tank to the first pressure washer.

       5. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the tank is configured to store at least 200 gallons of spot-free rinse water. 
     
     
       6. The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a suction hose configured to deliver tap water from a spigot or faucet to the exterior water inlet port. 
     
     
       7. The system of  claim 6 , wherein the suction hose has a diameter of 1 inch. 
     
     
       8. The system of  claim 7 , wherein the suction hose includes an adapter configured to be coupled to the spigot or faucet. 
     
     
       9. The system of  claim 8 , wherein the adapter has a diameter of 0.75 inches. 
     
     
       10. The system of  claim 1 , wherein the pre-filter is downstream of the carbon filter and the plurality of membranes are downstream of the pre-filter. 
     
     
       11. The system of  claim 10 , wherein the spot-free rinse water has a total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration that is less than 15 ppm. 
     
     
       12. The system of  claim 1 , further comprising the vehicle. 
     
     
       13. The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a recirculation line fluidly coupled between the first pressure washer and the tank, the recirculation line being configured to deliver spot-free rinse water released from a pressure relief valve of the first pressure washer to the tank. 
     
     
       14. A system comprising:
 a frame configured to be received within and coupled to a portion of an interior of a vehicle; 
 a spot-free water generator configured to generate spot-free rinse water from tap water, the spot-free water generator including a carbon filter, a pre-filter, and a plurality of membranes; 
 a booster pump configured to receive tap water from an exterior water inlet port and deliver the tap water to the spot-free water generator at a predetermined pressure; 
 a tank coupled to the frame and being configured to receive and store at least a portion of the spot-free rinse water generated by the spot-free water generator, wherein the tank includes a float valve configured to move between a first position towards a second position responsive a predetermined volume of spot-free rinse water being stored in the tank to cause the spot-free water generator to stop generating spot-free rinse water; 
 a first pressure washer; and 
 a first on-demand pump coupled to the frame, the first on-demand pump being configured to deliver spot-free rinse water from the tank to the first pressure washer. 
 
     
     
       15. The system of  claim 14 , wherein the predetermined pressure is greater than 60 PSI and the spot-free water generator is configured to generate 4 gallons of spot-free rinse water per minute. 
     
     
       16. The system of  claim 14 , wherein the spot-free rinse water has a total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration that is less than 15 ppm. 
     
     
       17. A system comprising:
 a frame configured to be received within and coupled to a portion of an interior of a vehicle, wherein the frame includes a plurality of vertical support members and a plurality of horizontal support members, each of the plurality of vertical support members having a first end coupled to a first surface of the vehicle and a second end coupled to a second opposing surface of the vehicle;
